Your help and thoughts are very much appreciated. I'm trying to find a used bike for commuting, cruising and general fun in the sun. I'm 44 and coming back to riding  after a 20 yr hiatus. I have to choose a bike that is a good fit for a 6'2 225 lb guy. My budget is around $3500.00. Checking craigslist in my area (North Jersey) there are a few interesting choices.  1st up is 1980 HD Sportster 1000cc for $3300.00 here: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/737318563.html
2nd up is a 1987 Honda Magna for $3000.00  here: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/737133989.html
3rd is a 1994 HONDA SHADOW VT1100 for $3350.00 here: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/736581830.html
4th is a 1997 BMW R850R w/ABS for $3500.00 here: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/736066420.html
5th is a 93 Yamaha 1100CC VIRAGO for $3800.00 here: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/734504875.html
6th and last is a Kawasaki Vulcan 800 for $3500.00 here: http://newjersey.craigslist.org/mcy/732773796.html
Thanks in advance!
